Trumpf TruTool Slitting Shears

Slitting shears are commonly used when cutting various types of metal so as to prevent deformation of the workpiece. While also considered a shearing process, slitting differs in that the sheet metal is cut by two opposing blades. When cutting takes place, the upper blade of the sheer moves towards the fixed lower blades similar to a can opener. The position of the blades exerts extreme tension, essentially shearing the material being processed. This provides several advantages among them being fast, accurate cuts, long tool life span, chip free cutting and no kerf.
